Abstract:Background: The prothrombin G20210A (FII G20210A) and Factor V (FV) Leiden polymorphisms are the most common hereditary risk factors for venous thromboembolism. Little is known about the role of the thombophilic factors on the risk of thromboembolic events (TE) in recipients of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). This study aims to evaluate the influence of the recipients’ genetic mutations (FII G20210A, FV Leiden and methilene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T homozygosity) on the incidence of TE b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
